Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems fine.

As per your complaints, you seem to be having seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Please use a Ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly for the head wash.
This should reduce the sticky residue in your scalp.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
